#hypertextuality

He is just! a frustrated! structuralist! who would like words! to be used! properly!

The exasperation! The resignation!

“what it is they are (probably) thinking about when they (haphazardly) utter the word parody”

WORDS MEAN THINGS he screams into the void. And then he does cute shit like this:

Thanks, Gérard, you’re right, it is chilly this season and I will put my tools away when I am done reading your 40 chapters on transposition. It’s a lie though, he doesn’t put his tools away when he is done with transposition. Instead, he does this:

“longish” he says on page 384. “I don’t have time or the competencies to get into this” he says, before spending the next 10 pages talking about it.

the focus of my internet game this year is connection over containment, generosity over retention, and curiosity over control...

The web used to feel like a labyrinth made for wanderers. Clicking a hyperlink was like finding a secret door in a sprawling mansion. You never quite knew where it would take you— a rabbit hole of ideas, a treasure trove of forgotten knowledge, or maybe just a strange, lonely corner of cyberspace that felt like it had been waiting just for you. But somewhere along the way, we stopped…

O καλλιτέχνης, είναι πρώτα – πρώτα αντικείμενο ως προς το περιβάλλον, αντικείμενο και για τους άλλους, αλλά ταυτόχρονα και υποκείμενο για τον εαυτό του. Από μια μεριά υφίσταται, θέλοντας και μη, τις λογής – λογής όσο και αναρίθμητες επιδράσεις του περιβάλλοντός του: Τα πέντε στάδια της αποδοχής που περνάμε ΟΛΟΙ σε μια πολύ δύσκολη στιγμή:1. Άρνηση και απομόνωση2. Θυμός.3. Διαπραγμάτευση 4. Κατάθλιψη 5. Αποδοχή

The five stages, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief. «Έτσι ο ρομαντικός ήρωας, έχοντας μιαν ατομικιστική ορμή για απομόνωση με οποιοδήποτε κόστος, καλοδέχεται ακόμα και μια ξεχωριστή θλίψη ή μια δραματική δυστυχία αν θα τον βοηθήσει να καλλιεργήσει την εικόνα που θέλει να έχει για τον εαυτό του: ένα πλάσμα που η μοίρα του άφησε αβοήθητο.» The development of an individual into an artist depends on a number of factors.

“When you can do the things that I can, but you don’t, and then the bad things happen– they happen because of you.” — Peter Parker, Captain America: Civil War Transtextuality is a part of just about every story that you can think of. In a sense, it’s how texts relate to texts. Like, sure, it’s  references to other media, but it’s also how the text relates to itself. In the scene that introduces…

“Intermediality” is when one medium uses or draws from part of another, not when it just shows it (a painting of a tv is just a representation of a tv). A movie shot on digital using film grain is intermedial.

“Hypermediality” is when the viewer of the medium is made to realise the medium. e.g, breaking the fourth wall, or in the picture above, pointing out the fact that the movie is a physical movie.
